Lazerton Farm causewayed road is a prehistoric trackway located in Dorset, England, dating to the Neolithic period. The monument consists of a raised causewayed construction, a form of road building characteristic of early farming communities in southern Britain. Such causewayed routes served to facilitate movement across difficult terrain, particularly marshy or waterlogged ground, and represent an important development in Bronze Age and later transport infrastructure. The site is designated as a scheduled monument in recognition of its archaeological significance and contribution to understanding prehistoric communication networks and settlement patterns in the region.
